Rural health TV
June 26, 2012
TODAY three federal ministers –
Tanya Plibersek, Stephen Conroy
and Warren Snowdon officially
launched the first national free-toair
health TV channel, aptly called
the Rural Health Channel.
Designed to help close the health
gap between urban and rural
Australia, the Channel has been
launched by the Rural Health
Education Foundation, an
independent, non-profit
organisation that over the last 20
years has provided free distance
learning education programs,
building the skills of more than
50,000 health professionals.
Following its debut, the Rural
Health Channel will provide health
education and information to areas
sorely lacking in medical facilities
both to health care professionals
and the wider community.
The Channel will be broadcast via
satellite between 1.30 to 3.30pm
and 7.30 to 9.30pm on weekdays,
and 4.30 to 6pm on Sundays.
